I'm Sorry But THIS IS SO TRUE!!

Mob Psycho 100 represents such a refreshing, powerful portrayal of platonic love, but the fandom seems to be dominated by romantic headcanons.  It makes me kind of sad.  I feel like shipping the characters romantically negates some of what makes MP100 so meaningful.

nanami radiates "i have a black wife" energy. this much is even more so since all of us decided to take crack and ship jjk men w/ disney princesses.

Come to the Entertainment District Club, and stay for the surprise! (piece for Modern Demon Slayer zine)

wtf?

No x reader, I hope its okay! 😅🙏

A SFW request where Muzan is REALLY just a timid and easily scared guy, who everyone somehow thinks is terrifying and evil.

Only the uppermoons knows what he's really like and is very protective of him because if his kind and timid personality.

Could I have some headcanons about their thoughts on this Muzan?

The Upper Moon's thoughts on a timid yet kind Muzan.

        I don't usually write for Gyokko due to my incompatibility to understand his personality well enough to write about him, but I figured it'd be a good writing challenge for me.

        Wordcount: 996

The title “Demon King” is already fearsome enough. No demon dares utter the king’s name in fear of his curse he’s instilled to the species. Any demon who talks bad about their progenitor often faces the wrath of the Upper Moons. Demons who get summoned to the Infinity Castle assume the king is mad at him, why else would he be shaking in anger? 

        In truth, he’s shaking of fear. The Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, the one who leads the Demon species, is a total coward. Understandably, having a burning feeling in your throat after taking a vaccine in hopes to strengthen the weak body that left you bedridden for almost your entire life would be scary. Finding yourself with growing strength and hunger after taking said vaccine, then killing the doctor who made a cure to save you from death, then the terrible thirst for human flesh and cannibalizing the species you used to be, would be terrifying for anyone.

        Muzan’s newfound abilities and thirst for blood left him feeling scared, especially once the Demon Slayer Corporation formed and sought out to destroy him. He eats humans to survive just as humans eat cattle to survive, why are they attacking him when he’s just trying to live as another other human would? To save himself from being hunted down, he’s found a way to multiply demons and build himself his own army to defend himself (more so slow the slayers down from getting to him). As the years went by and demons populated Japan (possibly the entire world) six demons made their presence known in the demon world for their strength. 

Kokushibo:

        As possibly the first Upper Moon and one of the oldest demons to still exist, he’s been by Muzan’s side for centuries. The Upper Moon originally joined Muzan after gaining his mark as a Demon Slayer, but after learning a slayer with a mark doesn’t live past 25, he became a demon.

        Now that he works under Muzan, he's seen Muzan true self (the one most demons aren't aware of) he's not entirely sure if he's scared of the demon or not. The only reason he doesn't fight or kill Muzan would be because of Muzan's abilities. Muzan may be a coward, but he can certainly protect himself if it comes to that. 

        Kokushibo thinks it's a little admirable, to live in a world where those hate and seek to kill you, then to dominate an entire species to your beckoning call, it evens the scale out and makes up for Muzan's cowardliness.

Douma:

        Douma thinks it's quite enjoyable that Muzan is a scaredy-cat. He likes hiding in the Infinity Castle and waiting for Muzan to turn the corner so he can jump at him (he almost got his head slashed off for that). Douma might hold back on his teasing of Muzan if Koushibo says something about it. 

        During meetings, he'll purposely act out to see if Muzan is brave enough to punish him (it usually results in a fight with him and Akaza, a argument with Daki, or Nakime having enough and teleporting him out of the Infinity Castle). 

        Douma doesn't understand how mean his actions are due to his inability to understand or feel much emotions, but Akaza can hit him enough to realize when his words are uncalled for. Douma doesn't see Muzan as weak, he understands Muzan's strength, he just doesn't have much attachment to his own life and therefore has no fear in teasing Muzan. 

Akaza:

        Akaza loathes Muzan's real personality. He doesn't like weak people; demons are no exception—especially if you're the demon king. He believes that Muzan should pass his title down to someone with a more authoritative persona, but that's until he realizes how powerful Muzan truly is. 

        Akaza may not like Muzan's timid personality, but he does respect Muzan's ability to hold up in battle, earning Akaza's position as the third Upper Moon. Akaza doesn't know whether to interpret Muzan's kindness as him pitying Akaza for being weaker than him, or if Muzan's just truly being nice because of the goodness of his heart. 

Hantengu:

        Hantengu understands Muzan's timid personality. Hantengu will gladly hide with Muzan somewhere if one of them feels threatened or scared. Despite them both having a timid personality, he does still feel fearful of Muzan and acts like he's walking on eggshells because he knows of Muzan's true strength. He believes Muzan's personality is misleading. 

Gyokko:

        Gyokko isn't sure whether to feel pity for Muzan or make fun of his personality. He might make a few teasing comments, but unlike Douma, he values his life a bit more. He thinks it's artistic (oddly enough), he believes Muzan's appearance and aura screams "intimidation" yet Muzan's true personality is just being a scared and loving coward. 

        Gyokko likes to make vases for Muzan, he believes Muzan won't take it as a sign of disrespect to his higher up (Muzan loves the vases). 

Gyutaro + Daki:

        Gyutaro laughs at the irony; the most powerful demon being a scaredy cat, it's funny to him. Gyutaro doesn't make fun of Muzan because he's afraid of Muzan's strength. Daki, however, does not find his personality as funny like how Gyutaro does. Daki has a little crush on Muzan because of his thoughtfulness to her and Gyutaro.

        Daki will defend Muzan and lash out at Douma and Gyokko if they pick on Muzan (Gyutaro will reluctantly back her up). Gyutaro might feel pity for Muzan at times, but in those cases he doesn't really do anything other than listen more to Muzan. Daki aims to please him so she does whatever he requests of her, going above and beyond to prove how useful she is to him.

My Hero Academia vs Assassination Classroom: Becoming Teachers

Now I recently saw a post going on about how people dislike Deku becoming a teacher in chapter 430. And another user chalked it up to Westerners' disrespect for teachers vs Japan's great revere for them, plus shipping discourse

And while I feel that those definitely don't help, I do feel that that isn't the balk of why a lot of us hate it. It also reads as one of those elitist takes in fandom where they are talking down to those who don't agree with them

Now I'm a Westerner, and I hate Deku becoming a teacher. It's not because I don't respect teachers, and when it happened in Assassination Classroom I was all for Nagisa Shiota becoming a teacher. I would have preferred to see him and/ or Karma become assassins but I was still satisfied with how it ended. So why is that? Especially because we know Hori was a fan of Assassination Classroom, prototype Bakugou was based on Karma for crying out loud.

Achieved vs Happenstance

A big part of it is framing, everyone in 1A, 1B, and basically everyone else explicitly want to be heroes, or at least something adjacent to it. That's why they are in the hero course, and Izuku Midoriya especially has a one-track mind for heroes until the surprise reveal. He was constantly told no, pick something else, for a decade but was still hyper-focused on being a hero leading up to the show. Nor do we see or otherwise learn that he has other developing interests. There's a ton of fanfics and headcanons of him helping his classmates with school work or even just their quirks, but there's nothing in canon. The only character who does anything like that is Momo Yaoyorozu. The vast majority of 1A and once again especially Izuku Midoriya are only interested in being heroes. Izuku is also the only one who didn't become a hero (until years later) despite the need for them totally going down and them being paid per arrest.

Meanwhile, no one in 3E the end class, chose to be an assassin, Kuro Sensei just decided that he was going to teach that class, and the world needed him dead. A lot of students explicitly have other interests and none of them have a personal interest in being an assassin past killing Kuro Sensei. Yes, Nagisa Shiota is shown throughout to be surprisingly good at assassination work, and he is explicitly given an offer to join the world as an assassin. But when he gets the offer he asks himself do I really want to do this. We also learn via the little girl who suggests the career to him in the first place, that he has been tutoring her. We also get to see how he takes the uniqueness and skills from 3E into his teaching job.

So in short the premise of Assassination Classroom is much better suited to have it's characters enter very different fields to begin with.

Better Focus on Academics

Yes, My Hero Academia takes place largely in a school, but they don't put any focus on the school part. Whenever they're doing something in class it's either big combat test or self-directed training. And in the later seasons, more and more time got taken up by the big-name pro-hero fights. The two teachers we see the most of, both have bad teacher tags on Ao3 and I have seen numerous takedowns of their teaching skills accurately citing the series.

Assassination Classroom however has school and studying as a constant theme throughout the series. We see 1E being taught both standard school stuff, and learning various assassination techniques to achieve their goal. Kuro Sensei also makes it very clear that if they are just going to bank their futures on killing him and winning the money, then he sees no point in staying around for them to do it.

Getting it Regardless vs Earning Respect

One ongoing issue I have with MHA is that I largely got into the series because I thought that it was going to criticize societal issues. Instead, it ended up doing a 180. Now this mostly applies to the pro-hero worship, largely because once again there is barely any time dedicated to the actual academic part of the show. But with both the teachers and pro heroes their failures and shit behaviours aren't treated as reasons to lose respect, making any respect for them empty. This also leans into the very real issue of roles that come with unconditional respect, will attract people who will abuse it.

Meanwhile, 3E came into the show without this innate revere for teachers, because their past teachers especially in their school have actively screwed them over at every turn. Karma is even elated at the idea of killing a teacher after his last one betrayed him. Nagisa Shiota was being very blatantly abused at home, and Kuro Sensei is the first teacher to stand up for him. The teachers of 3E have to earn the students' trust and respect. When Bitch Sensei treats them like shit when she first joins, the students return the favour, she has to apologize for her poor behaviour for the class to give her a second chance. So when it ends with the students having a deep connection to their teachers and a renewed appreciation for school it's because that respect was fucking earned. Also, the principal who created this system set up 3E to be abused and sabotaged them every chance he got, got fired for his shit leadership aka actions have consequences. They also didn't feel the need to excuse the bullies shit behaviour either

So in one setting, we have authority figures constantly being shit but being revered anyway. And the other, where the respect has been lost and needs to be earned back, thus the respect they get has a much stronger foundation.

Side notes

Deku sucks at explaining, I've said it both on my main and AU blog, but Deku is horrible at explaining. One of the main aspects of teaching, and he sucks at it because he overcomplicates and goes off on tangents, plus mumbling. If it was just his thought process, it would be a mildly annoying but harmless habit, but he does it when talking to people

Also, Assassination Classroom has a way less bloated cast, allowing us to actually get closer to the characters.

"What if Tomioka killed Nezuko?"

I wanted to try editing Tanjiro and since I like him with long hair in episode 1 I did this too :)

• He's blind from one eye because Nezuko scratched his face when attacking him.

• He wears Nezuko's hair tie as a bracelet.

• Always wears his hair in a loose ponytail, but sometimes put his hair down when resting.

• Tanjiro have nightmares every night so he has some trouble sleeping.

• Became a demon slayer to avenge his whole family being killed and to prevent other people to lose their families too.

Kokushibo with someone(any gender is fine!) that isn't... totally socially adjusted and a tad oblivious(putting that mildly)? they don't pick up on a lot of social cues and tend to fumble their words a lot and speak fast sometimes. Can't even make eye contact without getting nervous. Rather quiet and would more so like quality time than just simply speaking. (like, both could read books together or play games that were around in the taisho era)

this is me describing what its like for me to be around people as a neurodivergent person. I understand this is not the same thing for every neurodivergent person out there, but this is just my experience.

Thank you for your ask! I really relate to this, and I have such a horrible stutter :( I feel a lot of people may be able to relate to this as well. I wrote head cannons if that's okay :)

Summary-Kokushibo x (typically) Neurodivergent reader. Gender not specified

Genre- Fluff

Warnings- None

Kokushibo, found himself intrigued by this companion who seemed to dance to a different rhythm than most.

Their interactions were often punctuated by awkward pauses and stumbled words, yet Kokushibo found himself drawn to their genuine nature.

You both can spend hours together in complete silence, yet each moment feels full and meaningful.

He observed your discomfort with eye contact and noted how you seemed to prefer the comfort of shared activities over idle conversation.

This suited him well, for Kokushibo himself is not one for small talk.

He never rushes you or grows frustrated with your social awkwardness, instead offering gentle encouragement and support.

Together, you both would spend quiet hours engrossed in books or engaged in traditional games of strategy like Baduk. His favourite game.

Over time, you and Kokushibo develop your own silent language, communicating through subtle gestures and shared expressions.

You learn to anticipate each other's needs and desires without the need for words.

In these moments, words became unnecessary.

Kokushibo found solace in you, appreciating the simplicity of your companionship

For both of you, your time together serves as a sanctuary from the demands and expectations of the outside world. In each other's company, you find acceptance and belonging without judgment or prejudice from anyone else.

Let's talk about Spacetoons Mineta...

Spacetoons is an arabic channel that semi-recently dubbed MHA. Some may call it "Arabic 4kids," but as someone who watched a substantial amount of shows in a 4Kids dub. (namely SonicX), that's not a fair comparison. The only 4 kids dub I actually enjoyed was that of "Kirby: Right back at ya"

Anyway, the BokuNometaAcademia sub brought to my attention the way that Mineta is written here. I have always hated how Hori used Mineta to live out his weird fantasies. The inclusion of Mineta's "comedy" turned a lot of people, me included off and honestly, why wouldn't it.

Spacetoons is more child-tuned so they did a lot of censorship, for example, look what they did to Momo

(They also greatly improved her character)

You may be asking, "What did they do with Mineta?" Valid question considering 70% of his character is horny jokes. Well, the completely removed the perv aspect and made him a loveable kid who wants to fight his insecurities and be great hero.....

I have always said it, Mineta holds some great potential. His moment during the USJ arc was a great stepping stone for some great character growth. The idea of a coward pushing to become a true hero is so different from the norm, but as we know, when it comes to MHA, potential don' get used.

From what I hear from spacetooneta, he is actually really likeable. He is so different from Canoneta that people mistaken him for a girl. The scenes where he is being pervy are either edited out completely or altered convincingly.

They changed the scene from season 3's filler episode so that the context is as follows:

Kaminari and Mineta want to goof off at the pool

Mineta has overheard that the girls have booked the pool too

They convince Izuku to come w/them so that they can get there before the girls

Izuku invites Tenya and the others and Tenya makes them train instead of goofing off

The girls are here, goofing off while they have to train

The most nuts part is that viewers of that dub absolutely LOVE HIM. He suprassed Bakugou in popularity even. This shows that Hori could have made one of the most loveable characters in Shounen. Think about it, his design is already cute, just slap a cute personality on and everyone would love him. But no, he had to be a creepy perv.

Canon Mineta sucks man
